Inspection of Intermittent and Poor
Connections
S7RS0B8204048
Most intermittents are caused by faulty electrical
connections or wiring. When a check for proper
connection is requested in a diagnostic flow, perform
careful check of suspect circuits.
If any abnormality is found, repair or replace as a wire
harness assembly.
• Poor mating of connector halves, or terminals not fully seated in the connector body (backed out).
• Dirt or corrosion on the terminals. The terminals must be clean and free of any foreign material which could
impede proper terminal contact.
However, cleaning the terminal with a sand paper or
the like is prohibited.
• Damaged connector body, exposing the terminals to moisture and dirt, as well as not maintaining proper
terminal orientation with the component or mating
connector.
• Improperly formed or damaged terminals. Check each connector terminal in problem circuits
carefully to ensure good contact tension by using the
corresponding mating terminal included in the
connector test adapter kit (special tool).
If contact tension is not e nough, reform the terminal to
increase contact tension or replace it.
Special tool
(A): 09932-76010 Connector test adapter kit • Poor terminal-to-wire connection.
Check each wire harness in problem circuits for poor
connection by shaking it by hand lightly. If any
abnormal condition is found, change the wire harness
assembly or component parts with new ones.
• Wire insulation which is rubbed through, causing an intermittent short as the bare area touches other
wiring or parts of the vehicle.
• Wire broken inside the insulation. This condition could cause a continuity check to show a good circuit, but if
only 1 or 2 strands of a multi-strand-type wire are
intact, resistance could be far too high.

Deployed Air Bag (Inflator) Module and
Activated Seat Belt Pretensioner Disposal
S7RS0B8206019
WARNING!
Failure to follow proper air bag (inflator)
module and seat belt pretensioner disposal
procedures can result in air bag deployment
and pretensioner activation which may cause
personal injury. The undeployed air bag
(inflator) module and the inactivated seat belt
pretensioner must not be disposed of
through normal refuse channels.
The undeployed air bag (inflator) module and
the inactivated seat belt pretensioner
contains substances that can cause severe
illness or personal injury if the sealed
container is damaged during disposal.
Deployed air bag (inflator) module and the activated seat
belt pretensioner can be disposed of through normal
refuse channels just like any other parts. For their
disposal, however, the following points should be noted.
• The air bag (inflator) module and the seat belt
pretensioner immediately after deployment / activation
is very hot. Wait for 30 minu tes to cool it off before
handling it.
• Never apply water, oil, etc. to deployed air bag (inflator) module and the activated seat belt
pretensioner to cool it off and be careful so that water,
oil etc. does not get on the deployed air bag (inflator)
module and the activated seat belt pretensioner.
• After the air bag (inflator) module has been deployed, the surface of the air bag may contain a powdery
residue. This powder consists primarily of cornstarch
(used to lubricate the bag as it inflates) and by-
products of the chemical reaction. As with many
service procedures, you should wear gloves and
safety glasses.
• When disposing of the deployed air bag (inflator) module and the activated seat belt pretensioner, be
sure to seal it in a vinyl bag.
• When air bag (inflator) module and seat belt pretensioner have been deployed / activated inside
the vehicle which is going to be scrapped, leave them
as installed to the vehicle.
• Be sure to wash your hand s with mild soap and water
after handling them.

The adapter (1) will also give an idea of whether or not
contact tension is sufficient, helping to find an open or
intermittent open due to poor terminal contact. An SDM
short bar release tool (2) is included in the connector test
adapter kit. Inserting it in to the SDM connector (3) will
releases the shorting bar.
Special tool
(B): 09932–75010 Air bag driver / passenger load
tool
This tool is used as a diagno stic aid and safety device to
prevent inadvertent air bag (inflator) module deployment.
The load tool has three connectors attached to its case
which are electrically functional and serve as resistive
load substitutions.
No more than two connectors are used at any time.
One of connectors (“STEER ING WHEEL”) is used to
substitute the load of the followings.
• Driver air bag (inflator) module when it is connected at the top of the column to the contact coil assembly.
• Passenger air bag (inflator) module when it is connected to the air bag harness connector in
instrument panel harness for passenger air bag
(inflator) module.
• Each of driver and passen ger seat belt pretensioners
when it is connected to air bag harness connector in
instrument panel harness for driver and passenger
seat belt pretensioners.
• Side-air bag (inflator) module when it is connected to the floor harness connector for side-air bag (inflator)
module.
• Side curtain-air bag (inflator) module when it is connected to the floor harness connector for side
curtain-air bag (inflator) module. Another connec
tor (“BASE OF COLUMN ”) is used to
substitute the load of the driver air bag (inflator) module
and the contact coil assembly when it is connected at the
base of the column to the air bag wire harness.
The third connector (“PASSENGER INFLATOR”) is not
used.
By substituting the resistan ce of the load tool when
called for, a determination can be made as to whether an
inflator circuit component is causing system malfunction
and which component is causing the malfunction.
The load tool should be used only when specifically
called for in the diagnostic procedures.
